AVHAT IS RUPTUIiE? Many are ignorant regarding this trouble. It is not a disease or anything to be ashamed of. It is the result of a break in the abdominal wall caused by strain, heavy lifting, and even by coughing and sneezing. Sufferers should remember that rupture is not a stand-still trouble, consequently it should not be neglected. Sufferers will be pleased, however to learn that thousands of the worst cases have been cured by Mr A. W. Martin, the rupture specialist, and that said thousands can prove that trusses do not cure, and that surgical operations are not necessary Mr A W Martin can be consulted at his rooms. Samson’s Buildings, Dowling street, daily 10 to 12 noon, 2 to 5 p.m.. Saturdays 10 to 12 noon. A booklet on rupture and its treatment posted free to sufferers.-—ls/8/36.
